Mets set to honor '86 Series champs in May

NEW YORK -- Thirty years after forever stamping their mark on Flushing, the 1986 Mets will have another weekend of glory in Queens.

The team on Monday announced a 30th anniversary celebration for the '86 Mets, scheduled to take place May 27-29 at Citi Field while the Dodgers are in town. The organization has invited all players from that team to take part in a pregame ceremony on May 28, along with then-manager Davey Johnson and his entire coaching staff.

"It was a great run," reliever Jesse Orosco said on a conference call announcing the Mets' plans.
